Happy Valentine’s Day!!! I saw the dear body challenge started by @itsarifitz and while I’m super nervous, I decided to participate. So here is my dear body letter: Dear body, I think I’m being VERY generous when I say that we haven’t always had the best relationship. From saying I’m sorry to I’ll do better to I love you. I’m sorry i focus on how you look rather than how you function. And yet, despite it all, you still carry me. From point a to point b. You got me here. From breaking you, giving you bruises, scaring you, to leaving you on empty more often than not, to thinking you are a machine. I have fought with you, for you, cried with you, for you, laughed with you, held you when you didn’t know what tomorrow would bring. Dear body Thank you for surviving. Thank you for protecting my heart For letting me care and love those around me For being patient with me while i search to see the beauty in you, while i figure out how to love you. While we still have a ways to go, and things to work out, I make these promises: I promise to honor you. Your strength. Your courage. Your space. The way you continue to amaze me with how resilient you are. I promise to learn to love you the way you are. And to love the way you become. Because you deserve it and are worthy of it. I promise to continue to fight for you. Thank you body for loving me through it all. #dearbody #dearbodyproject
